Hmmm. I'm near Orlando now, but I used to live in Ocala. I never even knew he smoked. Unfortunately for us, Tom Feeney lost, I can't stand Kosmas, Mel Martinez's office never even bothers to reply with a form letter, and Bill Nelson is just kind of lame.
Oh, well. Time to start writing letters again.
for those worried about the congressman's word usage...
i think what he said should be safe... congress is a bit higher on the totem pole than FDA
in the long run.. he has the power to tell the fda what is and is not ok.. rather than the other way around

Personal thanx to you yvilla! If there is anything we can do to help please don't hesitate to post and let us know.
Great going Yvilla! Sure hope he is for real! I do remember reading his post back when I was first researching ecigs and getting overloaded by so many hours reading. Wow! This could be a whole new ballgame!
He is actually my rep. here in Florida. I have written him before on other issues, but I am going to send him a thank you letter. I can't believe my congressman is a vaper, how cool is that! 
Oh nononononnonono. He is one representative in the House. He doesn't have anywhere near the power "to tell the FDA what is and is not ok". No single member of Congress has that power -- and thank our founding fathers for that fact!!!!
He can help influence legislative opinion of e-smoking. That would be a huge victory for us. He can work behind the scenes. Spread the good word. That's what he can do and it's great to know a national politician is an open user of e-cigs.
Just don't get carried away with the good news.
Thanks for taking this forward and from a new e-cig user I appreciate all that you are doing on our behalf... Good luck and keep us posted..
Congressional confirmation hearings will soon be held for the new Obama FDA commissioner nominee and it would be great if one congressman would ask her if she's heard of electronic cigarettes and if she has a position on whether they should have FDA oversight.
But I doubt anyone would be daring enough to ask, even a user. E-cigs are hardly an issue. There are too many bad peanuts out there, along with contaminated drugs and foods from China.

yvilla, thank you very much for posting this positive e-vaporizer story!!! We all need to keep our congressional vaper in the loop and apprised of what is happening. Maybe he would have one of his staffers be our Congressional Liason on our concerns. I know I plan to send him a message and welcome his support.
Read this if you think the FDA is just concerned with helping us poor smokers.

Amazing news, thanks again Yvilla for getting upfront on this.
Being on the other side of the world I am maybe a lil bit less interested than you american vapers out there, but still this is some very pleasant stuff to read. I noticed that only Lacey mentioned RTV, and I think that someone should point this guy that way. The guys'n'gals over there seems to be much more into acting than the majority of posters here.

Okay, I gotta say it... This is just too damn cool! I had to print the Heard on the Hill PDF document and hold it in my hands
I agree with ComeOnAmerica's post. It's time we get out there and be visible with our views - all of us.

No reply from uberjaeger yet, but I don't have the impression he gets on here as often as many of us do.
Anyway, I just sent him another pm, referencing the awful news article about Senator Lautenberg. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...seeks-halt-sales-e-cigarettes.html#post149984

Would I be wrong in thinking that it wouldn't exactly be a bad idea for all of us who are so inclined to write to their own personal senators and representatives in their respective states to ask them to keep e-cigarettes from being banned? I would have no problem whatsoever writing to my congressmen (and women)...
That's the Top Dog for anti-tobacco types, so Sen. Lautenberg's formal, public move to ban e-cigs takes the air out of a Florida rep puffing in peace after a lunch.
This is a great find yvilla. The original thread is back on page one in the General Esmoking forum. I remember reading that thread when it started and completely overlooked him saying he was a congressman.
Anyway, I think this forum is missing something. There should be an option to send a member an email instead of just a PM in case they don't get on here as much as most of us. I'm a member of a car forum that has that feature. Either send PM or send email. It uses the same kind of window except it goes to email instead of PM on the forum. I can't remember if we had to use an email when we signed up here. Anyway, if we had the email option we could almost be sure the recipient would get the message and read it faster.
Now, after I've typed all that -- does this forum already have an email option? If so, I havn't seen it.
